Very interesting start to the sem today.

Woke up with a sore throat and the sniffles. I probably contracted this cold yesterday, when, after walking nearly 7km along east coast in search for a place to rent a kayak and then discovering that the place had long ceased operating and I'd have to wait another 2 weeks before mana2 beach club opens, I stubbornly plunged myself in the cool seawater in the hope of cooling off from the scorching mid-day heat.

Dipped around for 10-15 mins or so, cleaned myself up and was subjected to a nice, relaxing, cool breeze.

I think that did it. The hot then cold temperature, followed by the breeze and my wet hair.

Anyway, so, since I woke up with the sore throat, I decided to soothe it with warm water. So I put the kettle on, and then poured the boiled water into my cup. In my head, I kept telling myself to sip slowly but before I knew it, I had taken a giant gulp of hot water.

So I burnt my tongue today. And it was horrible! Because I want warm water for my throat yet it'd sting my tongue. But if I take cold water, it'd be bad for my throat. In any case, believe me, a sore throat is way better than a burnt tongue because with the latter, 1) you cant really taste the food you eat 2) every bite of warm food is an assault to your senses.

That aside, it was an eventful day at school. Started off with perfumes lect and boy, am I glad Im taking this mod! So interesting! I was flipping through the coursepack for the cosmetics bit and I felt like I was reading a beauty mag (except its more science-y and objectively informative).

Bumped into so many people today. Tini and sumaiya at lect, chris-who-i-havent-seen-in-what-seems-like-a-year and others at the table (yes! the table is back!) , grace and pema at the co-op and then karina, yunxian and kyle on the bus! Im so happy :) Still, Im a bit embarassed because I had an emotional outburst at sumaiya today. I dont know why i was so mean to her..sigh..i was hurt, annoyed and then remorseful...but all's well now :) I love this girl! And note to self, please control temperament. PMS is not an excuse!

Then after buying my text and stuff, I met nudgie and we had dinner. Then another memorable thing happened. The bottom of the glass he was drinking from came off and the content spilled onto both our clothes. We were reaked in soda. Honestly, Im quite pleased with the way we handled the situation though. We were both tired and the waiters were really apologetic so it ended really well. Plus we got ourselves a discount :)

After dinner, I really wanted to rush home before the bookshop near my place closes. I really wanted to buy my book cover..and I was already getting upset at the prospect of being too late...so we rushed and boarded the bus. Then I realised my ez link card had no value in it. Eventually, after digging for cash and asking around for change, the bus driver was kind enough to accept all the coins we had (which was just 10 cents shy of the actual fee)so yay!

And the book shop was open! And nudgie managed to get his hair cut! So yay! We both got what we wanted!

Im really glad today went well :) Ive just re-read what I just typed above and on hindsight, the ups and downs of the day seem inconsequential. But the point is, that no matter how small something may seem, it can affect the way you look at things and how you feel. It's like a chain reaction of some sort, if you get what I mean.

Anyway, i really should stop typing and shower! Heh, my mom just showed me the new pyjamas she bought me and she was so excited. A Hello kitty pyjamas???!!! Still, I love my mom. Hey, its the thought that counts so yes, I will wear my hello kitty pjs tonight because it was bought with love. Im already loving it.

OOH! Nudgie bought me a pair of shades today! hee~

I feel loved! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~

Here's to a fruitful, wonderful and memorable semester! Insha-Allah
